Data Capture

At Media Smart Resources we specialise in providing high quality and accurate data capture from even the most unstructured documents.

We can capture handwriting, typed documents and barcodes from a vast range of document types and compare the captured data against other information you have recorded, or we can link external data to what we are capturing.

Most importantly, our extensive experience means that we can often reduce the cost of data collection by using our in-house developed software to validate all inputs.

For example, we may only need to capture the ABN number on an invoice. We can then use an algorithm to check if the ABN is correct and can import the company name and address from the ABN registry. It is then a simple process to link the company name to your accounting data to assign account codes and so on.

We have also helped many organisations alter the design of their forms to improve the accuracy of data captured.
